If railroads and aeronautics are already choosing composite materials to lighten the weight of their carriages and fuselage, it is only a matter of time before the automotive industry joins this trend. To boost the electrification of automobiles and to limit the carbon footprint, which is a crucial aspect of the entire industry. But where exactly are we now, and what role does Industrias Alegre want to play in this area? We talked about all this with Amparo Vázquez, our R&D&I director.
We had to get our act together and we did. Because, after the cascade of successive crises experienced by the automotive industry, electrification was emerging as a pressing need and, with it, the obligation to develop efficient, lightweight batteries at a reasonable cost. This is a challenge that involves the most diverse industries. Ours as well. That is why we have been working on various projects for months. We review them below.
The title left no room for doubt: "Digital, connected and sustainable logistics". It was an interesting round table in digital format organized by AutoRevista with the sponsorship of Global Mobility Call, the event on new mobility will open at IFEMA MADRID in a few dates. Among its speakers, all of the highest level and very representative of the mobility industry, was our colleague Amparo Vázquez. For two hours, they shared ideas, challenges and proposals that we summarize below.
Artificial intelligence, such as that seen in ChatGPT, has burst onto the scene with an apocalyptic halo. But multiple tools that fit under the term “artificial intelligence” are here to stay and they are here to help us to improve production lines, among other things. This is our aim.
